Story
Saint a lovable Australian Shepherd received from a breeder in 2021. Saint is friendly, outgoing, and incredibly affectionate. He does wonderfully with kids, cats, other dogs, and is comfortable in large groups of people. He is playful, gentle, and full of love. Due to changes in our family and work schedules, we can no longer give Saint the time and attention he deserves. Saint would thrive in a home that can provide regular exercise, playtime, and companionship. He’s an amazing dog and deserves a family who can give him the quality of life he truly deserves.

Story
💌 Dear My Future Valentine, Hi there… my name is Dustin, and I’m a 4-month-old puppy with a very sweet face and a slightly mischievous heart. 💘 At first glance, I might seem like the laid-back, easygoing guy - calm, cool, and innocent. But don’t be fooled… that’s all part of my plan. 😇 I’ve got a silly personality, a cute little stubborn streak, and just enough persistence to see if I can maybe get away with something I’m not supposed to do. (I mean, it never hurts to try, right?) 😏 I’m learning my manners and doing really well with potty training, and every day I get a little better. 👏 I’m smart, curious, and always watching to see how things work. When I’m not testing boundaries, I’m being sweet, snuggly, and charming - basically the whole Valentine package! I’m still just a puppy, which means I’m learning, growing, and figuring out the world one paw at a time. What I really need is a patient, loving family who will guide me, laugh with me, and maybe forgive me when I give them that look after doing something questionable. (You know that look!) 🥹 If you’re looking for a Valentine who will make you smile, keep life interesting, and love you with his whole puppy heart, I think we could be a perfect match. Love (and a little mischief), Dustin 🐾❤️ ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://iamdogrescue.org/adoption-application/ ***IMPORTANT- PLEASE READ*** Our adoption fee is $175.

Story
💌 Dear Future Valentine, Hi! My name is Stevie, and I’m just about 4 months old, cute as a button, and ready to give you 110% of my heart. I’m a happy, enthusiastic puppy who approaches life with excitement, curiosity, and a little bit of sass. I’m silly, playful, and full of joy, but don’t worry, I listen well and learn fast. When I’m corrected, I try really hard to do better because making my people proud is kind of my thing. I love other dogs and would be thrilled to have pup friends to play with, learn from, and cuddle up next to when the day winds down. Every day is an adventure to me, and I’m always wagging my way into the next fun moment. I’m still growing, still learning, and still discovering the world, but one thing I already know for sure is that I have a lot of love to give. If you’re looking for a Valentine who will make you laugh, keep you smiling, and love you with her whole puppy heart, I think we might be a perfect match. So what do you say? This Valentine’s Day, could we start our forever together? Love always, Stevie 🐾💖 ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://iamdogrescue.org/adoption-application/ ***IMPORTANT- PLEASE READ*** Our adoption fee is $175.

Denton, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Blue is an Aussie mix, he is very social and loves to play, Blue needs an active owner and a yard, with a fence, not suited for apartment Blue is very energetic, he likes other dogs but plays rough. He would need to be paired with a patient dog who can put up with his immature behavior, he doesn&#39t always read cues to stop playing. His potty training has progressed significantly but he does still have accidents in the kennel occasionally. His personality is super loving and sweet, but he is mischievous and likes to be the life of the party and is still very much a puppy. Blue push boundaries and see how much he can get away with so he will need a strong leader. The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $300.00 and that includes their vaccinations, spay or neuter, rabies and microchip. Our dogs are also heartworm negative (or we will cover their treatment). To start the process please visit our website and fill out the adoption application (www.dfwrescueme.org) and from there the foster family can answer any questions and arrange a time to meetNovember 26, 2025, 11:46 am

Pegasus

Australian Shepherd Border Collie

Male, Adult
Lantana, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Pegasus is 5 years old and was born on a ranch in Central Texas to one Aussie and one Border Collie parent. He lived his first 4 years in with a family of 4 kids and his brother on a large piece of property. Our move last year has them living in a suburb with a small yard. Pegaus enjoys exploring, playing fetch, and lots of head scratches and cuddles. He is good with kids and is not agressive. He loves people and does jump up on new people he thinks have come to play with him. Barking at squirrels/birds, dogs walking by (we live right behind the walk path), the garbage man and other city things have pushed us to look at rehoming. He is a great dog, but our house and yard are just too small. Because we live in a smaller area, they cannot explore and run free. They have gotten in trouble with the HOA for barking. Pegasus would do so well with more space, but also enjoys being inside with the family. He loves walks and hikes. We want him to live his best life with more space to roam!
